Microsoft Word/problem printing document

QuestionQUESTION: I am using word 2007. When in print preview my document looks perfect. When I print it doesn't print the way it looks on print preview. On a few of the pages the words are not in the correct spot. It only happens on a few pages. Any suggestions?

ANSWER: To clarify, the printout doesn't match the actual Print Preview? Or does it not match Print Layout view?

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: It does not match the Print Preview or Print Layout. How it looks on the screen is not how it is printing on 3 of the pages. The pictures are staying in place but the words are not.

AnswerI really don't know what to tell you. What is shown in Print Preview comes from the printer driver and generally represents what will actually print. If what prints is different, then this is a printer issue. If you save as a PDF do you have the same problem? If not, as a temporary stopgap, you could save as PDF and print the PDF.

Expertise

I've been using Word for Windows since version 2.0 (1992), and the more I learn
about it, the more I realize how little I know. But I may know a few things
that you don't, and I'll help if I can. I answer many questions every day in
Microsoft's peer support forums and as a result have been awarded the
MVP (Most Valuable Professional) designation by Microsoft Corporation. You
may be able to find the answer to your question at the Word MVPs' FAQ site or at my own Word FAQ site, so please check those first!
Please, no questions about VBA (macros), Registry editing, networks, or complex merges, as I have no experience with these aspects of Word, nor do I have any experience with Word for Mac.
Please indicate which version of Word you are using; if you are not sure, see "What version of Word do I have?".

Experience

I have a master's degree in classics (Latin), which is surprisingly helpful, though I no longer teach. The things I am proudest of: Having raised two children to maturity, both Merit Scholars, both college graduates (one a philosophy major!), one Phi Beta Kappa (from Harvard!); having been made a Paul Harris Fellow by my Rotary club; having been designated a Microsoft MVP.
